Relationships predict life satisfaction — Patrick and Jim O'Shaughnessy's father-son business partnership demonstrates that the deepest professional relationships produce the most meaningful work
The O'Shaughnessys reflect that their father-son business partnership (OSAM, Infinite Loops, Colossus) produces more meaning than either could create alone, because the trust, shared values, and emotional depth of the family relationship enhances the professional work.

Highlights

•
AI will automate the analytical parts of investing (data analysis, screening, backtesting) and make the human parts (judgment, patience, courage) the only remaining source of edge
O'Shaughnessy argues that AI will commoditize the analytical work that analysts and quant firms do, making that work table-stakes rather than a competitive advantage. The remaining edge will be purely human: the judgment to act on analysis, the patience to wait, and the courage to be contrarian.
